The Modern Age of the Mysterious

Sean came to the south gate of St. Peter's College on time. He stood in the shadows under the tree, and he had put on the mask of an unknown person.

At this time, many students were walking towards the academy with their books in their hands. Sean glanced around, and soon saw a black Ford car parked on the side of the road not far away. The door of the car was printed with Quest. The logo of the association, the dark golden mysterious eye - a human eye symbol in a circle, symbolizing those who peep into the mysterious world.

Sean could see that there were three people sitting in the car, so he walked to the Ford sedan.

The passing students saw Sean wearing a mask and knew that it was an explorer, and they all walked away nervously and fearfully. The explorer is an expert in dealing with evil, but their appearance also means that evil may be there. Surrounding, leaving as soon as possible is the most sensible.

Looking at the nervous expressions of the people around him, Sean didn't feel much—he could understand the fear of ordinary people towards the evil world.

He walked to the side of the car and had already seen the three people sitting in the car.

The man sitting in the driver's seat wears a mask called "Pious Guard" - the edge of the iron-colored blood-stained mask has white wings that symbolize Salvation. He has a strong body and a strong courage, but his mental strength is limited.

The King-level "Guardian of the Kingdom of God" that Sean had seen before was the mask of the devout guards who had been promoted to two levels.

Due to previous experiences, Sean had a bad impression of the man in the driver's seat.

Sitting in the co-pilot is a woman wearing a nun's robe, her face is covered with a pearl veil, only a pair of eyes are exposed - this mask is called "the first girl praying in the dawn". It also represents the clergy of the Salvation Church, has excellent spiritual attributes at the same level, and can break curses and heal.

"There are two clerics of the Salvation Church in this mission?" Sean approached the car, thinking about the meaning of the team, "This means that the mission may involve the blasphemers on the run, or the events that happened are related to the Salvation Church's clergy. faith."

Sean had heard Catherine mention before that the explorers who also serve as priests of the Salvation Church account for about 20% of the entire industry. For the **** New Zealand, there are not many priests in the industry.

There are many evil incidents that involve the beliefs or members of the Salvation Cult, so the Holy Court often entrusts missions to the Explorers Association, and because of the compatibility of the clergy in the industry, they often come into contact with missions involving the Salvation Cult.

"And the presence of two clerics in a team means that the next mission is likely to be a commission from the divine court." After reviewing his previous knowledge, Sean opened the car door.

Seeing the people sitting in the back seat, he couldn't help laughing.

The man wore a striped shirt, a black suspender, and rolled up his sleeves. He didn't seem to be prepared for anything, and he wore a wooden "court musician" mask on his face—similar to an opera mask, but with lines and musical symbols engraved. The jacket pocket was bulging, and a white mouse sat in it and probed its brain.

Moonlight grinned, revealing her white teeth. The two nodded in agreement.

"Let's go to Levin Town." The devout soldier in the driver's seat said something and put down the handbrake and started.

The first daughter of dawn looked back at Sean, she had blue eyes similar to Catherine: "The first mission?"

Sean nodded.

"Don't be too nervous," she smiled friendly, her eyes slightly arched, "Will is great, and so am I."

"Okay, needless to say so much." The devout soldier named Will was more wary than his friend and reminded aloud.

Sean asked, "How far is Levin Town? Do you know the specifics of the mission?"

Dawn's first daughter looked at Will, and the other party didn't seem to object, so she said, "It's not too far, it can be reached by car in two hours.

"We don't know what the specific situation is now. We just heard that there was a terrorist incident in the church in Lewin Township, and it is suspected that it involved evil spirits."

Moonlight's tone was relaxed: "Jack-level missions have limited consequences and effects, so sometimes they have nothing to do with evil factors, and may be man-made. Of course, in this case, if we can find evidence that has nothing to do with evil, and provide For the precepts, it can also be judged as complete.

"So, there are very easy tasks in the Jack class."

Dawn's first daughter seemed to be curious, and she couldn't help but look back at Sean. She suddenly found that Sean was bulging: "You seem to have a cautious personality." Her tone revealed appreciation.

Sean shrugged: "I don't like to leave regrets. Even if I fail, I can't fail because of lack of preparation. This is unacceptable to me."

Snapped! Moonlight clapped his hands: "Well said!"

But he didn't seem to be ready for anything.

The first daughter smiled, her pink lips grinned under the veil: "Musician, you are so interesting."

Moonlight tapped her fingers in the air, and the spiritual keys played crisp and cheerful music: "I feel very honored to be able to make a lady smile."

Sean and Will sighed imperceptibly almost simultaneously.

—

Will's car drove steadily, and after an hour and a half, Sean saw a large wooden sign on the side of the road. The wooden sign painted a Peanut boy with a baseball cap. The afterimage of his swing had a Big red letters: "Welcome to Lewin Town!"

When the vehicle drove into Lewin Town, Sean saw an apartment building with red brick walls, and there seemed to be a woman behind a window, but after she saw the car, she quickly closed the curtain.

Sean found the road deserted: "There doesn't seem to be any traffic here."

Will replied: "Lewin is a small town mainly based on agriculture. It is rich in peanuts. Now is not the harvest season, so it is normal to be a little deserted." As for the other stable person in the team, Will told Sean A little more involuntarily.

The car stopped at the entrance of the council hall in Lewin Town. There were a lot of people near the council hall, and when they saw the arrival of the four explorers, there was no fear on their faces, and some even seemed to be "relieved".

Sean finds it a bit ironic: when everything is safe, people see the explorer, and they are afraid to avoid it. Once something happens, the explorer becomes the savior in the eyes of these people.

After getting out of the car, Sean looked around. He was about to extend his spiritual essence to check a little, when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

Turning his head, the moonlight lit a cigarette, frowning under the mask, pointed to a cathedral in the distance opposite the council hall with his chin: "It's a bit strange there."

Due to the limited length of the esoteric substance, Sean couldn't stand so far away to inspect the cathedral: "Why is it strange?"

Yueguang exhaled a puff of smoke: "It's too big."

"Too big?" Sean wanted to ask, but suddenly realized what Moonlight meant: compared to the size of Lewin Township's population of 5,000, that church was indeed too large - its size was almost as large as New York City. several cathedrals.

The first daughter of the dawn came over: "It was an old church, which was built before the Civil War. As a gathering place for the development of the New York City, there were many believers in Levin town before. In order to solve the problem of worship, it was built. a cathedral.

"Usually, the ancient churches are very large, which also symbolizes the prosperity of the people in the past."

Moonlight said in a unique and charming voice: "You look so young, but you know so much. It's really impressive."

The first daughter smiled embarrassedly: "Call me Jasmine—you seem to be good people."

"Moonlight has already introduced himself, what should I call you?" Jasmine's blue eyes looked directly at Sean.

"Xiao, call me Xiao." Unlike Moonlight's indifferent personality, Sean still didn't say his real name directly.

"Oh, you are finally here!" A voice came from the door of the council hall. Sean turned his head and saw a bald man with an exaggerated white moustache standing at the door of the chamber.

Wearing a brown suit, he frowned and looked like a person who was easily irritable: "I submitted a report of a strange incident to the Explorers' Association three days ago, and your response speed is really 'surprisingly fast'!"

Usually, in the mission of the explorer, the most powerful and experienced explorer will serve as the captain, so Will consciously took up this task: "Let's go in and talk. UU read www.uukanshu.com" Explorers Association Determining an odd event and assigning a squad has its own process, and he doesn't want to make any explanation for the reasonable delay.

Several people followed the old man who seemed to be the mayor to the council hall: "My name is Marshall Hugh Clinton. I'm the current mayor of Lewin Town."

Will asked as he walked: "What happened in the town? - Our mission report requires us to go to the scene to find out."

Marshall sighed: "In fact, a lot of strange things have happened recently. But what happened in the cathedral a few nights ago was the most disturbing..."

The four followed Marshall and walked to a double door. Marshall's assistant took a few quick steps and pushed the wooden door open.

There were three people standing inside the door, all looking at Sean and the others at the moment.

One of them was wearing a black priest's uniform, with white hair and many wrinkles on his face, but his spine was straight, his body was not thin, and his eyes were bright.

The other two, one fat and one thin, looked very young, only in their early twenties. However, the eyes of both of them were a little empty.

"I was severely frightened." Moonlight whispered in Sean's ear.

Marshall introduced, "This is Pastor Winston."

Winston's strong knuckles pinched the diamond frame, and nodded towards Sean and the others.

"They were John and Jock. They were in the church that night and found Pastor Zach's body."

The assistant walked behind a few people and closed the double doors.

Marshall waved his arms: "Tell me what you saw that night."

John's eyes were still blank, and Jock bumped him with his shoulder, and John woke up with a jolt:

"We..." His eyes fell into fog again, but he began to speak in a low tone.
